May 24, 1932- A. G. KROENKE COMBINED GLAZED AND SCREEN DOOR Filed July3, 1930 Patented May 24, 1932 UNITED STATES ADOLPH G. KBOENKE, OFFAIRIIBAULT, MIJFNESOTA COMBINED GLAZED AND SCREEN noon.

Application filed July 3,

This invention relates to doors having displaceable panels and has forits object to provide such a door having a panel that is mounted thereonfor opening and closing movements and provided with means for holdingthe same open independent of the door and permit said door to be openedor closed in respect to the panel. Said invention further provides adoor having a glazed panel and a screen panel.

To the above end, generally stated, the invention consists of the noveldevices and combinations of devices hereinafter described and defined inthe claim.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, likecharacters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary elevation showing a wall structure having a dooropening in which the combined glazed and screen door is mounted with itsglazed panel held open; and

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, withsome parts shown in different positions by means of broken lines.

The numeral 3 indicates a wall structure having a door opening 4 inwhich a door 5 is hinged for horizontal swinging movement. This door 5has a large panel opening 6 for a reticulate panel 7 and a glazed panel8 and which panels are applicable to opposite sides of the door 5 andhave rabbeted frames which seat within the panel opening 6 and againstthe faces of the door 5. The reticulate panel 7 is secured to the door 5by a plurality of screws and screw eyes 9.

The glazed panel 8 is hinged to the door 5, as indicated at 10, and itis important to note that the-door 5 and glazed panel 8 are hinged atthe same edge. Turn buttons 11 are provided for holding the glazed panel8 closed.

A flexible fastener 12 which, as shown, is a hook and eye, is providedfor holding the glazed panel 8 open and at the same time permit openingand closing movements of the door 5. The hook of this fastener 12 issecured to the wall 3 and the cooperating eye is secured to the panel 8.This fastener 12 1980. Serial No. 465,543.

acts as a flexible link and permits a limited edgewise movement of thepanel 8 as well as a hinged movement thereof in respect to the door 5during opening and closing of said door, as indicated by broken lines inFig. 2.

By releasing the hook of the fastener 12 the glazed panel 8 may beclosed and held closed by the turn buttons 11. While the fastener 12 issecured to a wall that is in the plane of the door opening 4 it willwork equally as well when secured to a wall that extends at right anglesor at any other angle to said door opening.

Obviously, the glazed door may be opened or closed, at will, and whenopen held so as to not interfere with the opening and closing of thedoor 5.

The combined glazed and screen door has all of the advantages of twodoors without the objectionable feature of having to change the samewith the seasons and has a great advantage in that the glazed door maybe opened and closed as the temperature changes or at will.

What I claim is:

The combination with a wall structure having a door opening, of a doorfor the door opening hinged to the wall structure and having a panelopening, a panel for the anel opening hinged to the door at its hingededge portion, and a bar pivotally attached at one end to the wallstructure and at the other end pivotally and detachably connected to thepanel for holding the panel open and permitting the door to be opened orclosed.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

ADOLPH G. KROENKE.
